My fiancee had a curious trheory on this matter that I thought I 
might share with the list.
It is that some magic, of Voldemorts, created a 'time freeze'? spell 
and all the actual battle occurred within a single moment of time. 
Dumbledore and the OoP arrived at the end of it because they needed 
to find their way *into the spell* and not, just the MOM. 
He says that, the only passage way into the spell was the telephone 
box that, Arthur said at the beginning, was "never used" by MOM 
employees. 
At the end the atrium burst to life and, people were everywhere. This 
was sudden, as though a spell on the ministry had been lifted.

Apparently, Fudge had seen Voldemort hy accident, because Harry's 
love for Sirius had overcome Voldemort, while he was in Harry, and 
broken his spell. Personally, I think its a pretty solid theory, but 
what do you think?
